Eric Raube made his way through the final round of the 44th annual Illinois Junior Amateur and finished 11 places higher than he started.

Although the final round was his highest score for the three-day event, Raube moved up to finish tied for 37th at Makray Memorial Golf Course.

Raube was tied for 48th place after his second round, though at the time of posting not all golfers had concluded their second round. Raube carded an 80 for his final round to finish with a 236. His previous two rounds were 77 and 79.

The best round of three area players came from Michael Mounce of El Paso who shot a 75 in the second round. He had an 83 in the first round and did not make the cut.

Trent Smith of Pontiac had rounds of 89 and 92 to miss the cut, as well.
